[Ham-Mac] echomac

[Rick Prather]

Thank you Jim,

I had tried that in the past but didn't get it to work.

I think the problem was using the start port and end port for  
triggered range of 5200.  Seems non-intuitive to me, but what about  
networks doesn't.

Anyway, I set my router up the way you suggest and it works fine.

Now I don't have to hard IP the EchoMac G5.
